This list includes academic publications resulting from research projects that I supervised during students’ research internships and literature theses. After completing their Master’s programs, we collaborated on writing academic papers for publication. In these projects, I not only contributed as a co-author but also supported students in developing their academic writing skills and navigating the academic publishing process.

Protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) are targeted cancer medicines that are increasingly used for long-term treatment, but their dosing has raised concerns. This interview study, based on a master’s research project by an intern, explores how healthcare professionals and regulators from European medicines authorities address PKI dosing in clinical practice. The findings reveal a gap between officially approved doses and real-world use, driven in part by side effects, limited evidence on dose optimisation, and legal constraints. The study highlights the importance of stronger collaboration to support more patient-centred dosing in oncology and was published in BMJ Open.

This publication is based on a master’s thesis project conducted by a student at Soa Aids Nederland. The research began with the observation that low-educated young men often do not participate in voluntary surveys on sexuality. As a result, local governments and authorities lack insight into the sexual health issues, needs, and challenges faced by this group, making it difficult to develop effective policies targeted at them. The publication, written in Dutch, was published in Tijdschrift voor Seksuologie (a Dutch scientific journal reporting on sexology), with the student as the first author. The student’s internship supervisor at Soa Aids Nederland also contributed to the writing of the publication. The Abstract can be viewed in English.

This publication, based on a master’s thesis completed during a research internship at Bielefeld University, Germany, was published in JMIR Diabetes. It explores the role of digital health apps in improving self-management for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). While digital health apps have proliferated, many still fall short of meeting the needs of T1D patients, lacking essential features such as integration with peripheral devices and user-friendly interfaces. By gathering insights directly from T1D patients, this study identifies the app features most beneficial for enhancing self-management and quality of life (QoL).

This literature review explores the ethical, social, and legal challenges surrounding the use of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) on healthy children in educational settings as discussed in academic papers. The main argument of the article published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is that a responsible approach is needed with a focus on the well-being of children. It emphasizes that policymakers, educators, and parents must be aware of the complexity of the technology and the ethical dilemmas it presents. A well-thought-out policy framework is crucial for addressing these concerns.
